Charlie is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. His villas are spotless and he has everything you need including car and boat rentals. This is the best location if you want secluded beaches. Just kayak over and explore Man-O-War Cay. The most beautiful colors of blue water and white sand in the world and you have it all to yourself! Driving can be a little intimidating with narrow roads. ##### Michael S. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Blaine A.

The waterfront is so beautiful and the Boston whaler/car gave us easy access to explore. The house is cozy and immaculately clean, all of the appliances, rooms and furniture were spotless. We will definitely be returning and staying longer next time. Highly recommend. ##### Blaine A. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristie B.

The property was spotless and very well-maintained, which made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The host Charlie was incredibly helpful and responsive—offering great recommendations and sharing local tips that made our trip even more enjoyable. One extra bonus was that the host also has rental cars available, which made getting around the island super easy and convenient.The location couldn’t have been better. It’s quiet, peaceful, and just steps away from a stunning private beach and dock. Whether you’re relaxing by the water or exploring the island, this is the perfect base. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again! ##### Kristie B. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Candice L.

We stayed approximately 2 weeks in Villa no. 1 and were really impressed with the accommodation. It was extremely clean and the kitchen had everything one could possibly need. The furniture and beds were very comfortable and the outside pagoda was a great addition to enjoy the stunning views. Everything was as per the photos and better. Charlie is a fantastic host who went above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable. We also rented Charlie's boat for 3 days to explore the surrounding cays as well as a car to visit Exuma's beaches. We will definitely be back! ##### Annette V.

This was my second time staying at Charlie's place across from Man O'War Cay. My family of 8 rented both units and loved every minute of it! First off, Charlie's place is spotless. He and his wife take great pride in keeping the place clean and ready for guests. The location is great, about halfway between Georgetown and the beaches on Little Exuma. We explored lots of beaches in the area, but our favorites were right across the channel and over on Moriah Cay. We took out the included kayaks multiple times during our stay, which made exploring the Cays so easy. We saw lots of wildlife, sharks, rays, and turtles right from the patio on the water.Charlie was also very accommodating and let us check in early on arrival and check out late on departure. He is great to work with and very responsive to any concerns we had.I highly recommended booking Charlie's place for your vacation to Exuma! ##### Laura H.

May 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unbelievable views and privacy Absolutely amazed by this property-it’s private location, views, and the amenities offered. Charles was the kindest person we met on the island. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee overlooking the blue waters and watching Man-o-war cay sandbars emerge as the tide went down. We saw more ocean life here than anywhere else. There was a turtle that visited the beach, colorful fish, and even a small shark! We enjoyed kayaking across the water to man-o-war, and finding our very own private beach with a nice shaded area. Charles had the place spotless!! This was the cleanest place we have ever stayed in. This was the best vacation we have had to date and we were sad to leave. This place will always hold a special place in our heart as we got ended here during our stay ##### Vanessa B.

Jan 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Million dollar view This place has the best sand bar we have ever seen, and it’s right in the back yard. If you are able to take the 3 minute canoe trip across the water, you will be able to have access to a practically private island. There is also a lot of wildlife around the area, like sharks, big tropical fish, and sand crabs that would be really fun for kids to play with. The owner provides cars and a boat for rental right at the property, which makes everything very accessible and simple to get transportation.The property is very clean and specious. Nice and friendly owner. Highly recommended. ##### Kieu L. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark C. Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I've stayed 5 times in Bayview Villas in Rolletown. I think that's all you need to know really about how good a spot it is.In 17 years of coming to Exuma, I've stayed in Bayview since 2014, and everytime it's perfect. It's got everything you need to cook, hang out, and Charlie & his family always have the place immaculate for each guest. Whether you've used it or not, it gets cleaned after for the new guests. Charlie is great, always here when you need him, but otherwise working away on site somewhere. The BBQ grill ran out of gas one evening as I was cooking and I emailed thinking we might get a new one the next day...Charlie arrived down within 2 minutes of the email getting sent with a new gas bottle! That's service that's unbeatable.The location here in Rolletown is also unbeatable. All the best, empty quiet beaches are within a paddle or boat ride away. The area never looks the same with the tide coming in or going out.The wildlife right in front is so abundant. I've seen sharks passing, turtles, porcupine fish, sting rays, dolphins! I don't even look for another place to stay whenever an Exuma trip is planned because there's no other place on the island thats as good. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5701da72-6d8f-484c-bef0-9218ccd2d88e-1755512028876.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/879aaefc-d68c-41af-a844-2ee40d305a42-1755512030853.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba493684-d485-448c-b871-b6c73b11d9bd-1755512031296.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/adc40b53-bbb1-44ce-91ff-061179ae1d5c-1755512031289.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mark C.

May 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Location, Spotlessly Clean, All the Amenities, Excellent Host Stop looking for the perfect place to stay in Great Exuma - you just found it! This is a quiet, semi-private location right on the bay, with an incredible view of Moriah Harbour Cay, and in close proximity to Man-O-War Cay. We knew we picked the right spot the moment we pulled up the driveway and saw the incredible view! The villa was immaculately clean and very welcoming. The moment you step onto the back patio you are in paradise. A short walk through the yard and you arrive at a gazebo and sundeck right at the water's edge. This provides incredible photo opportunities, direct access to the water via a ladder right off the deck, and the most stunning crystal blue water you’ve ever seen. One of the locals said it looks like Windex – and they are exactly right! Right off the deck, we saw a shark, a turtle and sting rays. We also saw a few dolphins in the bay from the back yard. The provided kayaks make it easy to explore the sandbar right across the channel. We even hiked over the dune to Moriah Harbor (bring closed toed shoes). The entire space is relaxing and provides an environment for you to unwind or be as active as you want. We kept saying how incredibly gorgeous the view was and that our pictures don't do it justice! On our next trip to Exuma, we will definitely be staying here again.Charlie was the best host: responsive, helpful, has rental cars, and a 15-foot Boston Whaler available for rent. We took the boat for two days and it was perfect for our family of 4\. ##### Daniel R. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve C. Dec 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved our stay For us, Bay View Vacation Rentals is a holiday paradise. Charlie and Shamika take great pride in maintaining their property and ensuring that their guests feel comfortable and secure. If we could, we would give it 6 stars.Charlie arranged transport from the airport for us. Upon arrival we rented one of his cars for our two week stay.Our days were spent kayaking, swimming, walking the beautiful beaches, or just relaxing on the deck by the ocean with a good book. We also took in some of the excellent dining available on the island.This property lies directly on the ocean and includes a small beach area. It is protected by Man O War Cay, which allowed us to kayak almost daily. We especially enjoyed kayaking to Man O War Cay or Moriah Cay and walking the pristine and secluded beaches which face the open ocean. The water was warm and inviting. We saw sea turtles, rays, fish, and numerous birds of every description.The island has much to offer, including many magnificent and uncrowded beaches, boat rentals and tours, bonefishing, and of course the beautiful turquoise water.We'll be back!Laura and Steve ##### Steve C.

Just returned from a fabulous 2 on Exuma. We stayed at BayView Villas (villa 1) It was perfect! It had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. We ate out some, but cooked or grilled most meals (nice grill right outside the back door)The hosts Charlie and Shemeika live in the house behind and are there if you need anything and are the nicest folks you will meet.It was just me and my husband, but since it is a two bedroom it could accommodate a small family or could rent the attached 2nd villa too. The yard and gazebo/shelter by the water was our favorite place! The view/water is stunning! The gazebo by the water had a large table, chairs, lounges and great shade if needed. It is right across from man- o-war cay and we kayaked across and experienced the cay and Moriah Harbor Cay National Park on the other side. Also there is a nice beach in the cove so always calm waters there. There is a porch with chairs and table by the home also. Can't wait to return. If looking for a luxury resort feel this isn't it. But if looking to get away with nice accommodations, beautiful waters, calm and quiet, this is for you. We looked at a lot of places online before booking and again when we got to the island and for our needs we hands down picked the perfect place! We enjoyed a day at the Coconut Club on Stocking island,took A1 water taxi and had a great time, food and drinks and wonderful service from Cassandra. Also ate at Shirley's, Tim's on the Bay, and Fanny's a ##### Lori B. Stayed 14 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike & Mindy G.

We have traveled to dozens of places across the Caribbean, and this was one of the most beautiful places we've ever experienced. This unit was also the cleanest unit we have ever stayed in - anywhere! Charlie and his wife have created this incredibly relaxing place where your soul can rest and unwind. I can't overemphasize how BEAUTIFUL the view is from this unit. The photos don't do it justice!The unit was spotless and had every convenience we could ask for. We cooked during our stay and had everything we needed; the unit is very well stocked. The unit has air conditioning and ceiling fans. It was stocked with paper products. There is a washer and dryer with soap and dryer sheets. They really have thought of everything to make your stay easy and relaxing!We rented a car from Charlie (he has very nice, new cars!) and were so happy we did. He arranged for a taxi from the airport and things could not have been smoother. They have kayaks and paddle boards to use, and we ventured out a couple of days to explore the area. We saw turtles (daily), a baby shark, birds and fish. We explored the island across the way and found shells and crabs. This location is off the beaten path which is what we wanted. The location provides an amazing quietness. When we were sitting on the dock watching the water we didn't hear cars, trucks, boats or people. It was just the sounds of nature - what a change!We will stay here again (and again and again....) and look forward to it! ##### Mike & Mindy G.

Everything you could possibly need or want was provided by the Charlie the host including a rental car and boat. The house was fully furnished including a wonderful kitchen with all of the utensils and whatever else you needed to cook a meal with. We fell in love with the house and location, it's absolutely beautiful and Charlie and his sweet dog Chloe were the icing on the cake. We will be back next year and hopefully for years to come. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b42541b9-6c87-4a7c-921d-d57ab80bf2ec-1749209925834.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8ade87f3-a898-48bb-a736-cedbdb630263-1749210079139.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1cdfee76-73fb-4f81-a6b1-8e8fb34ce46d-1749210231059.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/67815494-02be-4094-a4c2-9787f175e427-1749210320095.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Troy T.
